The Toronto Raptors seem to be planning more moves after dealing OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam. Bruce Brown has a nice style, but the Raptors could have a chance to improve their long-term prospects by selling him.
Given that potential suitors have already evaluated Brown and that he has expressed interest in joining a team such as the New York Knicks, it is likely that the seasoned guard will soon be donning a new uniform. Is that the blue-and-gold Los Angeles Lakers forum?
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski claims that the Lakers are very interested in acquiring Brown through a trade. Woj also mentioned that prior to the Siakam trade, Los Angeles reached out to the Pacers regarding a possible trade involving Brown in free agency. It is clear why they are so aggressive, given his flawless fit.
According to reports, the Raptors are looking to trade Brown for a first-round selection and a promising young player. A deal might be made if the Lakers make players like Jalen Hood-Schifino or Rui Hachimura available and give up any picks that the Pelicans don’t own.

- The Brooklyn Nets appear to be keeping an eye on veteran Raptors player Gary Trent Jr., which makes them a very unique team seeking his services. Although Brooklyn might combine a few of their draft choices to acquire a star and floor-raiser, it might not be the best decision to trade assets to Toronto in exchange for an expiring player who has underperformed this year.
- Head coach Darko Rajakovic stated that center Jakob Poeltl is progressing “according to plan” and that he would be playing “very, very soon,” suggesting that the Raptors may be moving closer to having the Austrian center back in the starting lineup. The offense has been far more stale without Poeltl, while the defense struggles to rebound and provide rim protection.
